Time for change

Well shit. My CA-19 is up again to 587. It hasn't been that high since I started chemo. We did cancel one of the drugs (Oxaliplatin) because of my peripheral neuropathy, which the numbness doesn't seem to be going away. I'm guessing I will get one more round of this before we change our treatment plan.

This makes the trial in Washington D.C. seem more and more likely to happen. Mom and I have discussed the possibility of taking the RV and living up there until their trial is ineffective. Otherwise, I would have to fly up every single week. Knowing that a guy has been on it a year is very promising. That would give me plenty of time to see everything there is to see in D.C. 

Round 12 has been a little different. I've had some bowel issues. I didn't think it was possible to go from constipation to diarrhea in the same day, hours apart. The cold sensitivity in my mouth has diminished, which is the only good thing, but at what cost.
